Fully integrated with vBulletin and easily integrated with third party scripts:
Many hacks allow you to specify a points system by entering the table and column for the points data. Use TABLE: user COLUMN: credits when integrating vBCredits with such hacks (note: you may need to include your table prefix with some hacks)! If you are unsure about integration - ask me!

Why is this version not the gold version yet?
vBCredits 1.4rc1 went through a long bugtesting process at the official site, and rc2 is largely bug free in its entirety. However, *it is missing most of the admin help and post/thread deletion actions are temporarily removed while I figure out how to fix them.

Footnotes:
Thank you for using vBCredits, I would be happy to hear your feedback and correct anything that comes up. For more tailored support, please indicate you have installed this hack, and if you like it you can nominate this for MOTM. Use of this free hack requires that you retain the copyright line at the bottom of the forum (PM me otherwise). If you do not agree with this, please do not use vBCredits - thank you for your understanding and support!

i have no intention of making vbcredits compatible with vbfirewall.

why? it works with a whitelist. so, not only does it reject anything not on its list (which includes a million legitimate scripts such as vbcredits) but also anyone who reads that list can easily construct something malicious to get around it anyway.

at best its ineffective, at worst its disruptive.

--------------------------------------------

i am kind of freezing support for vbcredits (except for issues) because I am in the middle of developing vBCredits II. The core is done and being tested before I make the admin functions to configure it. Basically, setting up vBCredits II is much simpler and easier than it is right now, so it would be better to explain that one when it is available in a few days.

i have half the admin functions for vbcredits II done, just the other half and some actions and displays to go. should be done in a few days, but before its perfect ill be needing a bunch of people willing to test it while i smooth out the phrases and ux effects.

priority will be given to big boards wanting to assess the performance and those of you who've been with vbcredits the longest i dont know how many ill want yet, but details will be announced on my site as i get closer to finishing.

There is a global donation switch in the specialty settings, and for each usergroup is a donation limit - if it is 0, they wont be able to donate.

the style manager in your admincp? Or on credits.php on the forum?

Hello,
I use vB 3.8.4 PL2 and I have a some problems with vBCredits.
When I'm trying to change usergroups' options and click 'Update', a new usergroup is created (it's named e.g. as 'Registered Users'). BUT I have this problem ONLY when I edit options connected with vBCredits.
How to fix it?

[Darkwaltz4]

You are using suhosin and have hit the input maximum for your particular hosting setup. Technically, it is simply a coincidence that this happens with vBCredits stuff - it could have happened with anything you added next.

I do not support workarounds due to suhosin, but I do have a set of guidelines you can get your host to implement which should support my stuff, but thats all I can do: http://www.vbcredits.com/forum/announcement.php?f=5

Thank you Darkwaltz4. I am going to check it.
